Hello my lovelies, how has your week been?
I am very glad to see the weekend as it mean that my shift doing holiday relief for Kate in the store is OVER!
One day off a week does not make a happy mamma, nor does it get the housework done, washing, hovering and food shoppping either.

Back to normal for a short time. Classes in both Elgin and Oldmeldrum this weekend.
Then we will catch our breath before we head into two demonstation weekends with the lovely Jenny Trueman. Elgin on the 4th and Oldmeldrum on 11th. With Spellbinder dies already on 3 for 2 promotion, I will have plenty more great deals to offer our shoppers who live near by.

Funkykits , fingers crossed, will be moving out of the house of sugar next month. After 8 years of rubber, its time to celebrate making it this far, because 8 is old for a stamp company!

I would rather sell the rubber than box it up and humph it out the door into the white van.

30% off rubber stamps, many designs with low stocks. When it's gone, it's gone, as they say.
Digital is the direction we are heading...........

It seems like the DT have all been in need of a little fairy love this week.. as without consulting each other, we've mostly come up with fairy images on our cards!

I coloured the little elf with my Copics and actually cut an extra set of wings and star so I could give it a little 3D effect.. then I used a DieNamics Circle Stax die, added lots of glitter.. and some white gel pen spots on the shading.

The paper I've used is called Love - Joy - Peace and is from Lawn Fawn - I love the delicate shade of greeny aqua. The sentiment is a LOTV handwritten one. I used some contrasting seam binding for the bow.

I'd love you to pop over to my blog HERE if you'd like to see more details of my card...

Now... some EXCITING NEWS!! Today we have a BRAND NEW ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE for you over at The Sugar Bowl! We have a whole new look........ and we have some WONDERFUL new DT members.. you really need to get yourself over there and take a peek! Click HERE if you want to join in the fun and take a peek!

The papers are Basic Grey Evergreen, which are really pretty IRL! I layered the papers onto bazzill card and doodled arounf the edges...I also added a piece of lace to one of the layers. The snowflakes have been punched with my MS punch, glittered them up and added a little card candi to the centre.

Remember to pop back tomorrow and check out our challenge over on the Sugar Bowl.

I'm running around like a wild haggis this week. Covering for staff holidays in the store, keeping house, lots of league stuff to do with my parents and a new venture I'm ready to tackle next month. One day off a week is not enough to catch up on washing etc.

The DT have two batches of art this week, part two of Furry a Friends. Some really cute images with Bramble , Brodie and Jelly. I hope to post these out to our guests this week too.

The other art is a partnership with All Dressed Up, woooopppppie! Wendy has been working on some new art for us to promote and , wait for it, rubber! You will hear more about that very soon.

ADU DT will be working with Sugar Nellie DT on a blog hope to show case the digital designs.

Computer problems . two computers down and it's time for an upgrade I think. But my computer mans away for the weekend, where's the man when you need him!

Off out now to fill up the fridge and take the children to see my father who's not been good this week.

Have a peaceful weekend and I look forward to seeing you over on our FB page.

Today I am sharing with you some Leanne Ellis, I just love this little cutie called A Little Hug and it's available here at Funky Kits.

I coloured the image with spectrum noirs and shaded with polychromos. I shaded the background of the image with spectrums aswell and then used some distress ink around the edges of the images. The papers are called Delight from The Sweet Shoppe which I layered onto bazzill card. I then distressed the edges of each of the layers and then doodled around the edges. I added a bow and some ribbon flowers and then finished with some pearls in the corners and to the image.

hey sugar fans.....I know you have all been patiently waiting to see who has been selected to join us here on The Sugar Bowl DT. It was such a difficult decision as there was so many wonderful applications and so many sugar fans however our new team has been selected and I am sorry if you haven't been picked this time but perhaps you may be lucky next time....so please do apply again when we have our next DT Call....

So without further ado I am pleased to say that we have the following newbies to our team.

I used some LOTV papers to match the colours I'd chosen to use... I wanted a real forest/mint green so used both Copics and Promarkers to colour the image... and shaded with my Cool Greys and my Blender pen.

Now.... there's going to be some excitement in Sugar Land this weekend... as we're teaming up with Kit and Clowder to celebrate their 4000 followers! Some Sugar will be on offer... so make sure you drop by!!

Well today I am sharing my favourite boy stamp from Sugar Nellie...isn't he just the best and reminds my of my brother when he was a wee boy!!

So this is No 1 Fan from Sugar Nellie which has been coloured with copics, I have used papers from MME - Be Amazing which I layered onto blue bazill card, I added a kraft circle onto blue card and then distressed then edges on all layers.
